Big, Bold, Idea For Transforming Education

December 18, 2012 By 1 Comment

It’s an idea so simple and so transformational it’s stunning it hasn’t already been implemented nationally.

Here it is: film America’s greatest K-12 teachers delivering their lessons and put them online in a one-stop shop website for students, parents, and young teachers to watch and learn from for free.

Imagine the possibilities and benefits.

Every child, regardless of income, circumstance, or school district would now be able to watch and learn from American All-Star teachers—the “Michael Jordans of pedagogy”—delivering key lessons. Likewise, parents would be able to watch and learn so they can help reinforce concepts to their kids (if we’re honest, most of us could probably use a little brushing up on our cellular division and calculus to help our kids with their homework).

    The Virtual School concept is excellent for grades Junior High and beyond. It provides every student access to the “Subject Matter Expert” and has true comprehension established continuously through thousands of non-repeating exercises and experiments. The student’s progress would no longer be determined by age or academic year but instead through real understanding and subject mastery. This system allows for continuous real progress monitoring providing the necessary supplementary support in a timely manner. It also cuts the cost of the Public Education below that of today’s efficient and effective Parochial and Private Systems effectively cutting Property Taxes by over 50%. This will truly allow the US to have a World Class Education System with World Class results. This system can also be a supplementary system for the lower grades allowing supplementary instruction to be delivered in a timely fashion. However, it would eliminate millions of jobs and remove the massive bureaucracy in the present Public Education System. Something the Politicians and their union friends would fight to the end.
